I'm struggling with not having a beard on my face. Are there any medicines that can help me grow one? I'd really appreciate it if you could recommend something.

Minoxidil : Minoxidil is an FDA-approved topical treatment commonly used for hair loss on the scalp (and sometimes on the face). It is believed to stimulate hair follicles, potentially encouraging facial hair growth in areas where it's sparse or absent. also check for biotin,vit d,vit b12and zinc consult a dermatologist for proper treatment

I've been using Olifair for just under a week now, and my face has gotten really bright and fair. I'm a bit concerned though, could it lead to a skin allergy or even skin cancer since it's caused such a noticeable change in a short time? Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Continue same treatment, side-effects include rash,itching and hypersensitivity reactions etc, if u have any sde-effects dermat opinion is advised.

I've been dealing with allergic eruptions ever since I was a kid. Recently, I found out I have psoriasis and eczema on my joints like my ankles, elbows, and knees. My IgE levels are pretty high at 1700. I regularly take Allegra 120 and Montair LC which help a bit, but nothing seems to truly work. I'm in a tough spot and dont know what to do. Can you offer any advice on how to manage or reduce these issues? I've tried both homeopathy and allopathy, but no luck so far.

For the management of Psoriasis and eczema with allergic eruptions, in addition to your current antihistamines, I recommend adding a topical corticosteroid cream like Betnovate to reduce inflammation and itching. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once or twice daily. Also, you can use a moisturizer like Cetaphil to keep the skin hydrated. Furthermore, you can consider taking an immunosuppressant medication like Methotrexate under the guidance of a dermatologist to help control the autoimmune response causing Psoriasis. This should be taken once a week in a prescribed dosage. It's important to continue with regular follow-ups with your dermatologist to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
